CFA LAWN (UC Weigand Gym as rain location)
The show is sure to please the crowd and fit the carnival mood. The concert will be on the CFA Lawn and will begin at 8PM. In case of rain, the concert will be moved to the UC Weigand Gym. Wristbands for the rainsite are FREE and are available at the UC Info desk now for CMU ID holders and Monday 4/13 to the public. Limit 2 per person.
The CMU Activities Board is bringing The New Pornographers and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists on 17 April 2009 for the Spring Carnival Concert. The New Pornographers is a critically acclaimed supergroup led by A.C. Newman. These Canadian veterans have released four albums together, from the well-received power pop debut Mass Romantic to 2007's more mellow Challengers, and has continued to please listeners. Their hook-laden music has been known to inspire full audience sing-a-longs and you'll be humming the tunes long after you leave the show.
Opener Ted Leo and the Pharmacists brings punk-tinged indie rock to the stage. Across the five albums released under the Ted Leo and the Pharmacists moniker, Ted Leo has been the only constant, delivering consistently good music with influences from punk to new wave to folk. Ted Leo is known for his charismatic live show and expert blending of musicality, politics, and humour.

9:00 | | Maps & Atlases w/ Vindell | | Maps & Atlases offer songs that wrestle themselves from flailing, algebraic fits of spazzy guitar notes and drum ruptures to lulling, voice-driven melodies that speak stories using lyrical images strung together like soup cans chasing a Cadillac. Mostly influenced by experimental and technically adept musicians such as Hella, Don Caballero, and Psych-Folkies Devendra Banhart and Six Organs of Admittance, Maps & Atlases create a distinctive blend of the intricate and organic.
Their latest offering You And Me And The Mountain, presents more earthly and digestible songs that has earned comparisons to TV On The Radio, Deerhoof, Minus The Bear, and Foals.

"Vampire Weekend+ TV On The Radio+ Prince+ woodblocks = one of the most interesting bands around"

Vindell's music is an explosion of original sound. Their combination of unique vocals and at times serious and mature lyrical content makes for a breath of fresh air. A fusion of indie- pop and rock'n'roll, Vindell leaves you happy and longing for more. Definitely a band on the rise in the growing Pittsburgh scene.
